Happy Birthday...{MCT Birthday Palooza}

Good Morning and welcome to another

My Creative Time Birthday Palooza post day!

Today I am sharing a fun birthday card using some of the older MCT stamps and dies

Take a look at my project and let me know what you think....

To make my card I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and then a layer of pretty designer paper from American Crafts.

Next I die cut a square out of the center of my card layers where I ended up placing a clear acetate sheet to make a window in my card.

Using the adorable cloud dies, I added those to the top of the window, lining them up inside the square.

Using the balloon dies, I added 2, popped up onto the front of my card using matching designer paper.

With some matching twine, I added bows to both balloons.

Finally for the sentiment, I used the a Strip sentiment die and the stamp from the Especially for you set. The sentiment was then popped up onto the balloon.

A few random enamel dots and my card is complete.

MCT Products Used:

Floating Cloud Dies

Strip Sentiment Dies

Especially For You

Stitched Squares Inside & Out

Stitched Large Balloon Dies

So there is my completed card. I hope you like it!!

As always, thanks for stopping by my blog!

Good Morning everyone and welcome to Day 4 of sneaks for the
92nd New Release from My Creative Time!
Today is the last day of sneaks before tomorrow's BIG Reveal and Blog Hop!!
We have one more die to showcase today....introducing the

His & Her Dies

take a look at my inspiration and let me know what you think...

Using the new die set, I made a masculine card, because I never have enough made...LOL!

I love these new dies and thought pairing them up with the Save the Date sentiment set worked out perfectly for maybe a graduation card?

To make my card, I started with a kraft cardstock base, added a layer of white cardstock and then die cut the designer paper using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die.

Moving onto the focal point of my card, I die cut 2 of the Stitched Squares Inside and Out, one in kraft and the other in a matching designer paper from the same pad as my background~ Outfitters by Pink Paislee.

I die cut the mustache in black cardstock, the bow tie in the pattern paper and popped both pieces up onto the smaller of the stitched squares.

The new sentiment fits perfectly onto this square~ Bet Miss Emma did that on purpose...LOL!

To finish my card, I added some enamel dots in coordinating colors.

FREEBIE

Starting tomorrow... Friday, June 21, 2019 at 8am PST we will be giving away this ADORABLE new "HIS & HER DIES". This new die will be given to the FIRST 25 shoppers!

MCT 78th New Release Sneak Day 1

Good Morning and welcome to day 1 of sneaks for the
78th New Release from

My Creative Time!!

Today the DT will be showcasing the adorable new set~

You're All Write

Take a look at my inspiration using this set....

Ok now isn't that pencil just the CUTEST!!

I have 2 projects to share using this set. The first one is a mini post it note holder.

I have made these several times in the past and just LOVE how fun they are to make and share. I used the directions for the post it note that can be found HERE on my blog (there are actually a few different kinds of post it note holders found here too)

I added the designer paper from the Cool Kid paper pack from Crate Paper for the lined paper which was die cut using the Stitched Squares Inside & Out set.

The sentiment is from the new You're All Write set which was stamped right onto the lined paper.

That cutie pencil, also from the You're All Write set was stamped and then paper pieces using scrap cardstock from my stash. He was then popped up onto the from of the post it note holder.

A mini pen and a matching post it note pad completed my project and it is now ready to give!!

My other project is a small tag that I added to a skinny clear bag of pencils.

The tag, from the Chunky Stitched Tag Die was die cut using the same lined paper. I stamped the sentiment, also from the set You're All Write onto the tag.

I stamped the mini pencil cutie onto some white cardstock and then I colored him using my prismacolor pencils.

The tag was attached to the skinny bag using some Totally White Trendy Twine.

Thanks for stopping by for Day 1! Please come back tomorrow for another fun sneak!!

Good Morning and welcome to day 1 of sneaks for the
77th New Release from My Creative Time!!

Today the DT will be showcasing 2 new sets~
Tulip Frame Die
Springtime Smiles
And for my project I made a card for my MIL for her birthday.
Take a look and let me know what you think....

The new Tulip Frame Die is so pretty and perfect to make and send those spring time cards!
I used the die and layered the frame with several different colors of cardstock, purple for the frame, 3 shades of purple for the tulips and green for the stems.
Once the frame was die cut, I did add another frame around the outside using kraft cardstock and the Stitched Squares Inside and Out
The whole frame was layered onto a piece of designer paper that I die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die set, layered on white cardstock and then mounted on a kraft cardstock base.
The sentiment stamped inside the frame and some matching enamel dots completed my card.

Just a litte love note.....{MCT Whatever Wednesday}

Good Morning and welcome to another

Whatever Wednesday with My Creative Time!

What did you think of the new I Adore You Kit that was released on Friday?

Pretty awesome and perfect for Valentines Day right!!

If you missed the release and blog hop, you can always head back to my blog post and check out my project as well as the rest of the DT's inspiration.

For my project today, I used the new I Adore You Kit...a sentiment stamp and a die to make a Valentine's Day Post it note holder.

Take a look and let me know what you think.....

To make this post it note holder, I started with a piece of kraft cardstock that I cut/score to the following dimensions--7 3/8 x 3 1/4 then score at 3 1/8, 3 1/2 and 3 7/8
I added a layer of white cardstock and then die cut a piece of pattern paper with the Stitched Squares Inside & Out set.
Using the new heart die from the I Adore You set, I cut it out 2 times, once in white cardstock and again in a matching pattern paper so I could layer the 2 onto the front of the note holder.
For the sentiment, I used the Vintage Stitched Label Die and sized it down to fit the sentiment.
A cute mini pen completed my project!

As always I appreciate you stopping by and checking out my project!

LOVE Note.....{3D Wednesday w/MCT}

Good Morning and Happy New Year everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! I know it was hard sending my kids back to school after being off for Christmas because we did have a great break but we get to look forward to a trip to Disney in February so that is awesome!

Anyways I am excited to be back for another year with Miss Emma and the My Creative Time DT! She has TONS planned!

Today is 3D Wednesday where the DT shares projects other than cards.

Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I made a post it note holder using several MCT stamps and dies...take a lookie and let me know what you think

To make my holder, I followed a YouTube video I found HERE, and used kraft card stock for the base.
I decorated the top of the holder using designer paper from SN@P! Color Vibe in a pretty pale pink polka dot paper.
Next I die cut the designer paper using the 3" Stitched Squares and stamped that using the "note" stamp from the Fun Notes set.
To finish my post it note holder, I added some mini hearts that were die cut using the Stitched Heart Background set in white, red and pink cardstock.
A cute mini pink pen fits perfectly in the side and this holder is ready to be given to that special valentine :)

Trick or Treat...{MCT Tag It Tuesday}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another

Tag it Tuesday with My Creative Time!!

Since Halloween is fast approaching, I thought I would make a cute treat container that would super fun to give to a trick or treater.

How adorable is this little paint can?

To make my project I took the paint can, filled it with some candy corn and added a cutie pumpkin face to the front using some vinyl.

Next I grabbed the Holiday Tags set and die cut the tag using white and black cardstock. The sentiment was then stamped using the Spooky Time set and attached to the paint can handle with some orange May Arts ribbon.

My project was complete but I felt it was still missing something so I went ahead and added a stem and leaves. The stem is actually the smallest of the Sitched Squares Inside & Out set which I scored and folded to make the stem. Then for the leaves I used the Stitched Pretty Flowers & Leaves Die attaching the leaves to the front of the stem.

Now my project is complete and I think so super adorable!

Fun with Stencils.....{MCT Tutorial Thursday}

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another

My Creative Time Tutorial Thursday!!!

I shared a card here on Monday for MCT's Manly Monday post showing a fun technique using handmade stencils with MCT dies.

I promised to share a tutorial on how I made that card but instead of reproducing that card, I used the same technique and made 2 different mini cards....

Take a look at my finished projects...

And here is how I made the black and white spider web mini!

I gathered my supplies~

Just a Note die

Stitched Squares inside & out

Too Cute to Spook

Wicked Fun Dies

and Black Soot Distress Ink

I die cut the spider web out onto a piece of acetate. Loving the details that this die has it makes for a perfect stencil!

Using my ink blending tool and holding onto the stencil, I dabbed and blended and rubbed the tool over the stencil, starting from the center and working out until I got the right look I was going for. As I blended out I let the ink lighten which gives it the look of a spray painted piece

Once the stencil was pulled off giving the desired look, I re-positioned it onto the other corner and inked it up the exact same way.

To finish my mini card, I stamped my sentiment, added that cutie spider and attached the whole white panel to the front of my Just a Note die cut.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I did the same technique for my pumpkin card, just changing up the die stencil to use the pumpkin and leaf from the Gobble Gobble set

Adding Carved Pumpkin and Mowed Lawn Distress ink

and a bit of Gathered Twigs Distress ink as well!

When I went to add color for the leaf, I used the actual pumpkin die, the inside of my stencil to cover up the pumpkin so I could contain where the Mowed Lawn Distress Ink went. I wanted to add the color only to the leaf part~not the stem and I didnt want it to over lap the pumpkin

I add the panel to the Just a Note die, stamped my sentiment, and my mini was complete!!

The best part of making these stencils~ you can use them over and over again!!!!

Well I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial and will give this technique a try!
